      Jibiru Survey & Design (Fukui City) has completed a dedicated base for bridge inspection support robots on land adjacent to its headquarters plant. The investment was about 40 million yen.

In 2008, Jibiru Survey & Design entered the bridge inspection robot business, aiming to diversify its business from construction consulting. By the end of March 2007, the company had inspected 334 bridges. In February 2007, the Japanese government published a list of guidelines and new technologies that can be used as a guide for bridge inspections, and the company's robots were included in the list.
